Explanation:

Question 5

Direct characterization is when an author explicitly tells the audience about a character's personality. Indirect characterization shows the personality through actions, thoughts, etc. So for telling the audience the personality, it's direct characterization.

Indirect characterization is when the author reveals a character's personality by showing their actions, speech, or other details (not directly stating). So when the author shows things to reveal personality, it's indirect characterization.

The passage describes Michael with clothes on the floor, a messy room, unmade bed, and playing video games all night. These actions suggest he is lazy (not cleaning, not putting things away, being idle). Loyalty, honesty, and hardworking don't match these details.

Answer:

B. Direct Characterization
